WHOOPI GOLDBERG, star of The Color Purple, has married cinematographer David Claessen. Goldberg was married Monday evening, her publicist Nan Leonard said Friday. But she didn't know where in Las Vegas the couple wed. Goldberg's personal manager, Sandy Gallin, and agent, Ron Meyer, will be hosts at a small party this weekend in Beverly Hills to celebrate the wedding, Leonard said. Goldberg, who has a 12-year-old daughter, Alexandria, by a previous marriage, is filming the Warner Bros. movie Burglar in Los Angeles, Leonard said.
